Mohit Suri Sheds Tears as Ahaan Panday and Aneet Share Heartwarming Moments in ‘Saiyaara’ BTS Video

A recent behind-the-scenes (BTS) video from the sets of the newly released film ‘Saiyaara‘ has taken the internet by storm, showcasing the blossoming chemistry between debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet, and an unexpectedly emotional moment from director Mohit Suri. The clip, shared by cinematographer Ashok Keer, captures the palpable camaraderie on set, culminating in a touching display of emotion from the film’s helmer.

The video, which appears to be from the final day of shooting, sees Ahaan and Aneet, dressed in traditional attire, sharing a warm embrace and clapping enthusiastically. Their genuine comfort and connection with each other are evident, suggesting a strong bond that extends beyond their on-screen roles as Krish Kapoor and Vaani Batra. Fans have been quick to praise their natural chemistry, which is proving to be a significant draw for the romantic drama.

However, the most poignant moment in the video features director Mohit Suri. Known for his intense and emotionally charged films, Suri was visibly moved to tears as the crew wrapped up filming. Surrounded by his cast and team, with the film’s title track playing in the background, Suri can be seen wiping away tears of joy and hugging his crew members, some of whom were also overwhelmed with emotion. This heartfelt reaction underscores the depth of his involvement and passion for the project. Actor Rajesh Kumar, who plays Aneet’s father in the film, was also present, witnessing the emotional scene.

‘Saiyaara’, which released on July 18, 2025, has already garnered significant attention and box office success, collecting an impressive ₹83 crore in its opening weekend. The film’s first Sunday alone saw collections of ₹37 crore, making it one of the biggest hits of 2025 so far, especially considering it doesn’t feature big stars, franchise backing, or a festival release date. The narrative revolves around Krish, an aspiring singer (Ahaan Panday), and Vaani, a reclusive former singer turned lyricist (Aneet). Their collaboration on a song eventually leads to love and heartbreak.

The film has also received immense praise from industry stalwarts. Alia Bhatt lauded the film, calling Mohit Suri “the captain of this very wonderful ship” and emphasizing how the film made her “feel things… things only movies can make you feel. Full of heart, full of soul, full of something that just stays with you… in the best way.” Similarly, Karan Johar hailed ‘Saiyaara’ as “the finest film in Mohit Suri’s career,” and praised Ahaan’s “spectacular” debut, noting how his “eyes spoke volumes.” He also complimented Aneet, stating that her “silences spoke volumes and your vulnerability and strength moved me to tears.”

This emotional BTS footage not only highlights the dedication of the ‘Saiyaara’ team but also fuels the growing excitement around Ahaan Panday and Aneet’s entry into Bollywood. Their genuine connection, coupled with Suri’s profound investment in the film, seems to have translated into a cinematic experience that resonates deeply with audiences.
